Don't think he's got any more "prolific", this season? Not sure where that angle is coming from... It's the end of November, and he's got 2 League goals. Yes, he works hard, but nothing's changed IMO; I don't think he scores enough

Though there is some good points in there (notably about Gerrard not stretching himself), the big problem I have is the notion that his "background" makes him in any way unique or "different" in the world of professional football? I would imagine that the vast majority of trainees/players still...

To respond to your first highlighted point, my understanding is that, although this is Terry's "defence", Fedinand has stated that he accused Terry of nothing, and wasn't even aware of what Terry had shouted until after the match? Has this changed? And to your second point; what form do you...

A very good point; as I recall he avoided any censure for not appearing for interviews post-match. I notice he's had the cheek this week to complain about his players struggling to perform due to the "emotion" and enormity of the 50-year anniversary game, which is a bit rich as it was United...

Re: Mourinho ready to quit? Besides which, Mourinho DID play football in Portugal?? In the lower divisions, admittedly, but he is still a former professional player.

To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised by The Observer this morning - the Richard William's piece was one of 4 about the final, the other 3 being about us (including the "normal" match report). The overall tone was miles more positive, including references to a lot of our player's humble...

A couple of weeks old (born late January 1976). Don't remember much of the game, though tbh...

Have to disagree with you on this bit mate; we're something like the 10th most successful English Club ever - in the context of a history stretching back 117(?) years the last 30 years or so are fairly small beer (though it felt like a LONG time!). As far as the COA is concerned it seems pretty...

Admire your optimism but, for me, we have to hope for an Arsenal win! If that happens, Spurs have West Brom, and then Chelsea. If we get a couple of results, a bit of a gap may open... Not sure why the general feeling on here is leaning towards a Spurs win being the most likely result anyway...

Well, perhaps the first line of my response was a little intemperate! Of the 3, it may usually be seen as the "least" important - however, their reaction after the game suggests otherwise. We shouldn't underestimate their desire to stop us winning a trophy - witness last years Carling Cup...

Utter bollocks. This will be only the second time since 1995 that a club other than the "Big Four" have won the FA Cup.

We're they're main rivals because, historically, we always have been. The respective qualities of the two teams don't matter; we were still United's main rivals when we were in the third tier. History didn't start with the invention of the Champions League...

Well, we don't let Barry and Milner take the penalties for a start...

Played 12 Won 5 Drew 3 Lost 4 You lost one third of the games you played. In a cup competition. In the 4 games in the Knock-Out part of the competition (the "proper" bit, if you like), you scored 1 goal. Well done for reaching the QF, but let's keep it in perspective...

I suppose it's certainly one possible explanation - part of Mancini's "USP", if you like, is that he's won something at every club he's been at; it's plausible to think he may be keen on that continuing. However, I personally hope not - and suspect there's no way we'll ever know!

Whilst trying to avoid a "knee-jerk" reaction, it's very hard to disagree with this post. I think last night Mancini will have lost a lot of the fans who previously supported him, including myself. I can just about put up with insipid, negative displays away at Chelsea or Arsenal, but that...

Ta. Tbh, just looking for somewhere to get drunk, whilst avoiding reds...

Stoke have got a woeful "away" record - totally different team at The Britannia. That would suggest they're unlikely to win the semi though...

Thank you Roger...! Like plenty of City fans, I've never been to City Square - drink in town, then get a taxi to the ground. Post below suggests that there's 3 screens, so ta for that...

Should be going (dependant on my mate getting time off work)... How big will the screen be?
